michigan's republican governor is rick snyder. and today he vetoed a republican bill that would have allowed concealed weapons inside of michigan churches, day-care centers, and schools. the bill passed through the republican-led michigan legislature late on the night before the killings at newtown. literally, just a few hours before that horrific scene became the center of the entire country's attention. when the bill got to his desk, governor snyder said right away that the newtown massacre was weighing on his decision. he told the ap that public safety concerns had been heightened and deserved extra consideration following friday's mass shooting. he said, quote, what that legislation says will be looked at through the lens of all that has happened. but then governor snyder told a story he says he doesn't usually tell, a personal story about a shooting at his dorm back when he was a law student back in 1981. that shooter in 1981 first started a fire with molotov cocktails. mr. snyder was resident in the dorm. he said he went to
